Underground Site and Taxonomy

This is my underground site located in Deira, which is the most dense city of Dubai. The three districts I chose to base my site on is Al Dhagaya, Ayal Naser, and Naif, which is the most dense districts in Dubai. My underground shopping mall will be built under the road in these three districts, moving through and surfacing to the ground at the dots show in the diagram. The red dots represents the possible entrance and exits of my underground shopping mall based on the building typology where in those areas that surrounds the red dots, there are evidences of a lot of people occupying the space.






This diagram shows the building typology around site area, which includes commercial buildings, mosques, schools, hotels, offices, public places, and transportation- related places.
This is color coded to the building typology in the previous map naming the buildings highlighted in the diagram above.


This is the taxonomy of the people in Dubai in relative to the Dubai population


This is the taxonomy of the types of people in Dubai where as you can see in some categories the human tribe overlaps and cannot be differentiated as much as the other tribes



This is the taxonomy of the activities that occur in Dubai categorized into adventurous, relaxing, intimate, entertainment, and self- care.

  1. Nice!
    You need more resolution on the streets etc to know what you will be able to do. So do I get it right? The mall if mainly a straight corridor? Or is this just the way you have drawn it for now?
    And the axo from your Taxonomies? Please upload examples.
